– Nicholas Reich

Coming from a family of artisans, and a childhood passion for illustration and carpentry, Nicholas Reich began working in the design and construction industry at age 15. Soon after, he became design director of an architectural glass firm and became enamored by the heavier construction portions of the projects he worked on. Soon his skills on massive framing projects became well known, allowing him to build high-profile projects all over the country, from the Department of Motor Vehicles building in Alexandria, Virginia, to historical restoration projects in Grand Forks, North Dakota. In 1996, Nicholas returned to his home state of California in South Orange County.

He established his first woodworking studio in Modjeska Canyon. A little over a year later, Nicholas & Co. Woodworking and Design opened its doors. In response to the high demand for construction and full-scale interior projects, Nicholas Builders Inc. was formed, allowing the two companies to work side-by-side on high-end residential projects.

Nicholas’ success allowed him to to get back to his roots and pursue his real passion... design. Nicholas designs most of the architecture and interiors for the projects the team now builds. He still produces traditional pencil sketches for various parts of his designs, much like the drawings he did as a child.

“WITH AUTOCAD AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES, YOU JUST CAN’T GET THE SAME FEEL FOR CERTAIN ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AS YOU CAN WITH HAND-ILLUSTRATED RENDERINGS. MOST OF OUR RENDERINGS ARE DONE ON-SITE BASED ON THE ENVIRONMENT WE'RE WORKING IN. THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A VERY EFFECTIVE METHOD IN SHOWING THE CLIENT (AND MY TEAM) WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.”

Nicholas has built a team of highly skilled professionals, artisans and craftsman who share his passion for design and for making our clients’ dreams come true. Call today to schedule an appointment. Let’s get to work.
